That sucks. Just as long as they don't release something too much better over the Monogram

For those who want to wait some more for something better, there are other threads on the "future upgrades" rumors... (Such a tease)

A friend of mine bought a base FR-S without seeing mine or really looking into the monogram/10 series.. needless to say, he was a little regretful after comparing each others side by side. haha.

The only way there could be a better version is if a turbo version came out but that unicorn will never become reality.

I doubt there would be a turbo version, for the FR-S, as for the BRZ I think Subaru will step up and offer a turbo version of the car for those people who want "more power."

O I did, multiple times. Even had it typed on my invoice. Dealerships are idiots. I'm honestly not surprised. They didn't know what the car was, even AFTER I showed it to them on their website. *smh*

I have several emails and text messages with my sales guy saying they won't put the dealership name stickers on the car, so hopefully they remember NOT to do so. Obviously not as big of a deal as drilling holes into the car for plates, but it still would be a hassle. I'm glad TN is not a front plate state!

Thank you SO much for posting this. I was having the worst time with the clutch in this thing and after seeing this post, I pulled it out as well.. sooooooo much better! I can actually drive it normal now.

Congrats man! I hope to be in mine around the same time or before....it's been in Toronto wherever they sit for the past 5 days at least Someone is being lazy sending it to the dealership

Mine should arrive any day, hopefully soon but I'm not too bothered due to the random changes in weather. MY dealership has been very pleasant to deal with as well, so I know it will be in good hands when it arrives (i.e. no drilling the front for plates or dealer stickers )

Can't wait for Winter and crappy spring weather to be OVER!!!

In the same boat here - I don't think I mind if it takes longer. I don't want to drive my car for a week, and have it suffer through another surprise snowstom. My car won't be winter driven at all, since I already have my trusty winter beater
